“1. [Verse 1] Unto the end, a Psalm for David himself in ecstasy. Unto the end, a Psalm for David himself, for the Mediator strong of hand amid persecution. Now the word ‘ecstasy’ added to the title denotes a mind beside itself as a result either of fright or of some revelation. But the Psalm we are studying shows us principally the fear felt by God’s people, alarmed at world-wide persecution and the general weakening of faith. First, then, it is the Mediator Himself who speaks; afterwards the people, redeemed by His blood, give thanks; finally, in great agitation the first speaker resumes, in a long passage which constitutes the ‘ecstasy.’ The actual person of the prophet is only twice introduced, towards the end and in the final verse.”—“First Discourse on Psalm 30”
